'American Idol' is a pop-culture staple that left the air too soon. ABC is the right home to reignite the fan base.

I think it's intelligent, emotional, character-rich storytelling - at the core, I think those are the most important elements, and I think they can be found across all of our dayparts. That's what, for me, ABC really stands for.

We will continue to raise the bar for our audience, investing in great storytellers and reflecting the authentic faces and voices of the world around us.

One of my personal theories of 'The Mayor' is that I feel like the show arrived on the scene at a time when people were feeling a little bit fatigued about anything that had to do with politics.

'Nashville' is a show that I personally truly loved, and to not have it back was a little bit of a heartbreak for me.

It's not about just diversity; it's about authenticity. Audiences are really excited to see more of themselves on the screen.

Tim Allen is a valuable part of the Disney ABC family and has been for a very, very long time.

I love the physical movement and beauty of dance.

I do want to focus on shows that are lighter, brighter, more emotional: shows that give the audience a chance to connect and to feel.

We're going to continue to focus on family comedies because that is something that our audience really comes to ABC for. But at the same time, we're going to push the boundaries of what a family comedy actually means.

We have a collective responsibility to do everything we can to make sure that everyone feels that the workplace is a safe and equal environment.

In terms of CBS, I think that the consistency for them, it feels like they have a really clear sense of who they are and what they want, and they're able to keep delivering very consistently on their brand, which is really terrific, and I think NBC has taken some really smart and interesting routes in the things that they've done.

With our dramas, we have a lot of shows that feature very well-to-do, well-educated people who are driving very nice cars and living in extremely nice places.

Stories let you be the hero, the doctor, the lawyer, the gladiator. They let you go on a journey.

'Ten Days in the Valley' has everything: It's a thriller, it's a taut, exciting love story, and it has the kind of character our audience loves - a strong, powerful woman who is also dangerously flawed.
Channing Dungey -
What we love about the character Katie, played by Katy Mixon, is that she feels very universal and very relatable. And what we love about 'American Housewife' is that it feels like it could speak for housewives from New York to Los Angeles, from Boise to Miami.

At the end of the day, broadcast television has many opportunities to inform the audience, to enlighten the audience, and to entertain them.
